I am now in NetBSD (current, amd64, 7.99.15); this is the computer where, until recent updates to re(4) and rsu(4) restored my internet access from FreeBSD, I was able to connect with Linux, NetBSD and Haiku R1Alpha4 but not FreeBSD, OpenBSD or DragonFly.  

My ports are way behind, last major update was mid-August 2014 when rsu was working. 

Now I am bogged down with that massive portmaster upgrade relating to png version bump from 1.5.x to 1.6.x, and am snagged.

But I also have FreeBSD-current i386 partition, may have to create a new partition for FreeBSD-current amd64 (plenty of space, using GPT and having 3 TB hard drive) and start again.  I still have stuff on the older installation that I want to keep; it is still usable but difficult to update.

I kept FreeBSD src tree, also ports and doc, up-to-date using subversion from NetBSD.

I can also try sooner on the other computer, where I also downloaded the patch; Abiword too.

I also downloaded the Porters' Handbook, am concerned about user modifications' effect on ports-tree updates by svn; also how to safely update a port or test a new port.
